## What it does

Point the skill at a spec and walk away. The reference can be a repo path, a slug, an issue number or a spec PR. If nothing matches, it stops and lists the closest candidates instead of making a spec up on its own — that belongs to `om-auto-write-spec`.

The skill itself is thin by design: it resolves the reference and routes the work. Implementation goes to the `om-auto-create-pr` engine, or to `om-auto-continue-pr` when an implementation PR is already open, with the `-loop` variant for long runs. That engine handles the isolated worktree, commits, the validation gate, labels and the review/autofix cycle. A spec PR stays design-only; the code lands on a separate PR that points back to it.

When the diff touches user-facing routes, components or copy, `om-auto-qa-pr` boots the app, walks the changed flows and posts screenshots plus a pass/fail report. The `--no-ui` flag skips this step. A working run needs `.ai/agentic.config.json` and a tracker descriptor; without them the skill invokes `om-setup-agent-pipeline`. If UI verification cannot run, the PR notes it and the run still finishes.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-auto-implement-spec -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/om-auto-implement-spec/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/om-auto-implement-spec/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-auto-implement-spec -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/om-auto-implement-spec/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-auto-implement-spec -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/om-auto-implement-spec/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install open-mercato/skills om-auto-implement-spec
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/om-auto-implement-spec/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-auto-implement-spec -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/open-mercato/skills --path skills/om-auto-implement-spec
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/om-auto-implement-spec/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-auto-implement-spec -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/open-mercato/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/om-auto-implement-spec/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- take an approved spec through to an open, reviewed PR
- locate a spec by slug, path or linked issue
- resume an existing implementation PR instead of opening another
- capture screenshots of changed screens and attach them to the PR
- get a pass/fail report on UI changes

## Example prompts
- Implement the spec at `.ai/specs/billing-export.md`
- Build the spec from issue 123
- Continue the implementation PR for spec 456 and verify the UI

name: om-auto-implement-spec
description: Implement an existing spec and ship a verified, reviewed, ready PR. Resolves the spec by path, name, issue, or spec-PR number (clean stop with candidates when not found). A spec PR stays design-only — implementation ships on its own PR referencing it. Delegates to om-auto-create-pr (om-auto-continue-pr for an existing implementation PR), then runs the review loop and UI verification with screenshots. Use for "implement the spec X", "build spec from issue 123".

# Auto Implement Spec (spec → implemented, verified PR)

Run unattended: the user starts you with a spec reference and comes back to an **implemented, code-reviewed, UI-verified, ready PR** with screenshots of the working app in its comments. This skill is deliberately thin — resolution + routing; `om-auto-create-pr` / `om-auto-continue-pr` own the implementation machinery.

## Arguments

- `{spec}` (required) — the spec to implement: a repo-relative path, a spec name/slug, an issue id whose body links a spec, or a spec-PR number
- `{repo}` (optional) — `owner/name`; infer from git remote if omitted
- `--no-ui` (optional) — skip end-of-run UI verification even when the change is user-facing
- `--loop` (optional) — forwarded verbatim to `om-auto-create-pr` on a fresh run, which then hands off to `om-auto-create-pr-loop` immediately. Without it the engine self-routes by its configured Step threshold (`engine.loopStepThreshold`, default 20). On a resume the existing run's artifact format picks the continue engine — `--loop` never re-routes an existing run.
- `--force` (optional) — bypass claim-conflict checks (passed through to the engine skill)

## Chaining

A previous skill (typically `om-auto-write-spec`) may already have opened the **spec PR** — that PR stays a design-only deliverable; this skill ships the implementation on its **own PR** referencing it (`Refs #{specPr}` plus the `Source doc:` line). An open implementation PR already referencing the spec is resumed, never duplicated. Ends with the `PR:` / `Spec:` reference lines. Companion skills: `om-auto-create-pr` (required engine for fresh runs — it self-routes to `om-auto-create-pr-loop` for long plans), `om-auto-continue-pr` (engine when a PR exists; `om-auto-continue-pr-loop` when the PR tracks a run folder), `om-auto-review-pr`, `om-auto-qa-pr`, `om-open-pr` — optional pieces fall back per `references/pr-finalize.md`.

## Workflow

**ALWAYS check first:** Apply `.ai/skills/om-auto-implement-spec/SKILL.md` when present; safety rules still win.
